Brand Basics
Jitasa is the largest national provider of bookkeeping and accounting services focused solely on nonprofits. Jitasa’s accounting services are affordable and cater to every mission-driven organization. Their experienced team creates tailored financial solutions so nonprofit teams can get back to focusing on what matters most: their mission.
Jitasa provides four primary financial service options to its nonprofit clients: bookkeeping and accounting, tax filing, financial advisory/fractional CFO, and controller services.
Bookkeeping & Accounting Services
The core of Jitasa’s offerings is bookkeeping and accounting, which covers day-to-day nonprofit financial tasks as well as analysis and reporting. Nonprofits can partner with Jitasa for both bookkeeping and accounting or just for accounting. Basic bookkeeping and accounting start at $395/month and go up based on organizational size, complexity, and additional needs. Pricing is flat-rate and transparent (no startup costs or hidden fees are added on top of quoted prices).
Each client is supported by a team of associates led by a primary accounting associate to ensure continuous service and allow for multiple perspectives on complex scenarios. From transaction tracking and payroll coordination to cloud-based accounting system setup, financial statement creation, and reconciliations, Jitasa’s experts can handle bookkeeping and accounting for any nonprofit, regardless of size, vertical, or multi-chapter structure.
Tax Filing Services
Jitasa’s tax specialists have filed more than 5,000 tax returns for nonprofits of all shapes and sizes. Their tax services include completing and submitting each version of IRS Form 990—990-N, 990-EZ, 990 full, and 990-PF—accurately and on time for a flat fee. Jitasa can also file any state-specific tax returns for nonprofits (e.g., Form 199 in California or Form CHAR500 in New York).
As far as employer tax forms go, issuing 1099s to contractors is included with Jitasa’s accounting services, and W-2 creation for employees is available with the payroll coordination add-on for bookkeeping.
Financial Advisory/Fractional CFO Services
Jitasa’s fractional CFO services save nonprofits time and money by providing access to all of the expertise of a full-time chief financial officer on a part-time basis. This expertise is provided via the Jitasa Strategic Advisory Team (J-SAT), which is composed of former nonprofit CFOs with extensive and diverse industry experience.
Basic advisory resources and ad hoc J-SAT advice come standard with Jitasa’s accounting services. More advanced fractional CFO services, such as budget support, technology-driven cash flow forecasting, and dashboard creation for financial KPI tracking, are available for a flat monthly fee.
Controller Services
A new offering as of 2025, Jitasa’s controller services provide financial oversight so nonprofits can maintain accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. They bridge the gap between accounting and financial advisory services, focusing on various types of reporting, policy development, and strategic financial planning.
By fully integrating with each organization, Jitasa’s controller services merge nonprofits’ unique operations with industry-standard financial best practices to create a seamless, efficient, and optimized financial ecosystem.
Company History
Jitasa was originally known as Easy Office, a nonprofit accounting firm that Founder and Executive Chairman Jeff Russell conceived of while pursuing his MBA at Yale University. After completing his degree, Jeff launched Easy Office in Boise, Idaho, in 2008. Easy Office grew quickly, signing its 100th client less than two years later and being certified as a B Corp shortly after its fourth anniversary.
Shortly after receiving its B Corp certification in late 2012, Easy Office rebranded to Jitasa. Staying true to its roots, Jitasa is still headquartered in Boise, maintains strong relationships with several of its early clients (including Scouting America), and works exclusively with nonprofits to provide the highest possible quality of service.
As of the end of 2024, Jitasa has signed more than 2,000 clients and has over 600 employees working around the United States and the world (there are international offices in Thailand, the Philippines, Costa Rica, and Bosnia and Herzegovina), all striving to improve nonprofits’ efficiency and effectiveness through expert financial management.
Mission Statement
Jitasa’s mission is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of nonprofits through expert bookkeeping, accounting, and financial management. The name “Jitasa” means “the spirit of serving others,” and the firm exists to serve the organizations that make the world a better place.

Frequently Asked Questions
For additional answers and information, check out our full FAQ page.
What types of nonprofits does Jitasa serve?
Jitasa serves nonprofits of all sizes, from startups with just one or two full-time employees to enterprise-level organizations that employ hundreds of staff across multiple chapters or locations and everything in between. The Jitasa team also works in nearly every tax-exempt organization vertical, from charities and churches to schools and scout councils.
What is the advantage of working with Jitasa over hiring in-house or using a different financial service?
Outsourcing financial management to Jitasa provides nonprofits with access to the same expertise as that organization would receive by hiring a full-time professional, but at a much lower cost. Among outsourced firms, Jitasa stands out for its team-oriented approach, affordability, scalability, personalization, and breadth of services offered (bookkeeping, accounting, tax filing, compliance, and advisory assistance are all available under one roof).
Can Jitasa help organize messy or complicated financial records and processes going back multiple years?
Yes, but depending on how much cleanup is needed, the onboarding process might take longer than usual. Once onboarding is complete, Jitasa will keep clients’ data updated, organized, and secure—no matter how complex it is—and help them prepare for audits of that information (although Jitasa does not conduct independent financial audits to prevent conflicts of interest).
Does partnering with Jitasa require nonprofits to give up control of their financial data and management practices?
No! All clients retain primary administrative control of their own accounting systems and have the final say on next steps. The Jitasa team also strives to be an extension of clients’ organizations, meaning representatives provide regular updates on their work, collaborate whenever possible, and answer questions at any time.
